Critical Update: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-055

Rather than wait until the next scheduled update on October 10, Microsoft released Security Bulletin MS06-055. This is a highly critical update. A security issue has been identified in the way Vector Markup Language (VML) is handled that could allow an attacker to compromise a computer running Microsoft Windows and gain control over it.
Note: If you have applied any of the third party fixes for the VML remote code vulnerability, I would suggest that you reverse those changes before installing this update.
